DECLARE HIS GOODNESS (reverse of Sustainer)And the LORD said, I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. --Exodus 33:19

This banner represents Jesus as "El Shaddai" (the Mountain One) who longs to have fellowship with us and give us of the abundance of His goodness. The black background represents the darkness of nightfall, the time of the evening sacrifice.

Prophetically, it says that we are in the time of the last great visitation of the Spirit before the end of the age.

DRAPE: represents the Tent of Meeting, the place outside the camp where God spoke face to face with Moses. "As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses. Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to his tent" (Exodus 33:9,10).
The drape is a wine color, suggestive of the fruit of the vine. The gold fringe declares His deity. The white under-drape is touched with gold and fringed to give the sense of dripping with milk and honey. The drapes are tied back with flowers and spices. All are symbols of the goodness and abundance found in Him.

TRUMPETS: The two hammered silver trumpets remind us of those which Moses was told to make. When both trumpets were sounded, the whole community was to assemble before the Tent of Meeting (Numbers 10:3). The evening sacrifice was to be made here, with the trumpets sounding again over the sacrifices (Exodus 29:42, Numbers 10:10).
The Apostolic age was foreshadowed by the morning sacrifice. So the evening sacrifice foretold this current day, the last glorious visitation of the Spirit to the Church before Jesus returns. The trumpets call the church to raise up a cloud of the incense of worship in preparation for His coming. This sacrifice of praise is the present day fulfillment of the burnt offering of the evening sacrifice.

Paul explains about unclear trumpet sounds in I Cor. 14:8. To speak clearly, a trumpet must be made of properly refined metal that is precisely moulded. The moulded ("beaten") metal of the trumpets speak the message that the refining/moulding process of the redeemed (silver-redemption) will produce instruments who, can, with clarity, sound the call.

There are many two's in the banner: two drapes, two flowers, two cords, two trumpets, two stripes. The number two speaks of call and response. "Behind me was a great voice as of a trumpet..." (Revelation 1:10). "Lift up thy voice like a trumpet" (Isaiah 58:1). "There are two voices in the church today, that of the Bridegroom and the Bride. Scriptures tell us that Jesus will return when the last trump is sounded. There must also be the answer, or trump, from His church" (p. 75, Path of the Just, Pastor Maureen Gagliardi).

BRONZE SWORD: The call is also to Israel to see the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies in the person of Jesus Christ. Bronze symbolizes judgement. The sword is an instrument of death. The curtain represents El Shaddai. The sword of the banner passes through the drape, showing that Jesus took the chastisement for our sin upon Himself. It is a message to Israel to receive the Word of the Lord in Zechariah 12:10: "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son."
